Nick Kyrgios gives huge retirement hint ahead of promising 2023 season

Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios admits winning a Grand Slam is one of his top goals for the 2023 season but also indicated he might retire if that happens.

Kyrgios, 27, made his first Grand Slam singles final at this year's Wimbledon. In the Wimbledon final, Kyrgios competed extremely well against Novak Djokovic but in the end fell short to the Serb in four sets.

Two months later, Kyrgios went to the US Open determined to lift his first Grand Slam title. Kyrgios had a promising run at the US Open, which ended with a surprise quarterfinal defeat to Karen Khachanov.

"Hopefully I can just win a Slam and retire," Kyrgios told tennis commentator Rob Koenig during an interview at the World Tennis League in Dubai.

After back-to-back strong Grand Slam runs at Wimbledon and the US Open, Kyrgios is viewed among contenders for the Australian Open title. The Canberra native is coming off his best-ever season on the Tour and many believe that he is now a legitimate Grand Slam title contender.
